Weekly Pitch-Track Analysis Lunch
Lisa Selkirk is organizing a weekly lunch-hour session for training in the analysis of English intonation. If you're interested, head to the Partee Room tomorrow (Feb 1) at 12:15 pm.
The tentative plan is to meet from 12:15-1:15 on Fridays (though tomorrow's meeting will be shorter). Bagels and accompaniments to power you through. Here's a brief description from Lisa:
The plan is to analyze a few natural speech utterances each week, which will be sent out to you in advance so that participants can try their hands at an analysis on their own before the meeting. (This preparation part would not be obligatory.) The object of this informal session will be to gain familiarity with looking at pitch tracks of English and thinking about their analysis. This skill could be of use for those on the "S-side" of things, as well as those on the "P-side".
[Thanks Lisa!]

Last Speaker of Eyak Dies
Seth Cable passed along the sad news that Chief Marie Smith Jones, the last speaker of the Eyak language of Alaska, died on January 24. The Anchorage Daily News story is worth reading for its information about Smith Jones, Eyak, and the current state of Alaskan native languages.
